House For Sale £695,000
Northampton Train Station 10 miles (HST to London Euston)
Market Harborough 12 miles
All distances approximate
SITUATION
The popular village of Hollowell is unusual for being settled largely on a hill. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, Hollowell has a fine sandstone Church with rose window and is renowned for its annual Steam Rally.
Its position affords residents excellent communication links via the A5199 which links to the A14 less than 6 miles away and the M1/M6 at the Catthorpe Interchange. Northampton has a mainline train station with services to London Euston and Birmingham Euston, though these routes are also accessible via Long Buckby Train Station just over 5 miles away.
Primary and secondary Schools can be accessed in the neighbouring villages of Guilsborough with Hollowell being in the catchment area for Guilsborough School.
Close by is the Hollowell Reservoir which extends to over 140 acres and offers mixed species fishing and a Sailing Club which was founded in 1966 with facilities for all the family including dinghy sailing and windsurfing, as well as bird watching and scenic walks.
THE PROPERTY
Set in the heart of the peaceful village of Hollowell, Highcliffe House sits in an elevated position in a plot of approaching 0.25 acres.
Entered via a useful boot room, a generous entrance hall leads to attractive and well-proportioned accommodation, with a large drawing room set to one side featuring a central fireplace with log burner, and large windows introducing light from two sides.
Adjacent is a large open plan kitchen/diner which has been re-fitted to a very high standard by the present owners, to include a substantial central island with built in oven and breakfast bar to one side, an excellent range of wall and floor mounted units, including integrated appliances, Butler sink a five-oven Cream AGA, and a door out to the side of the property. The kitchen is open plan to a spacious dining area, which has a fireplace with inset log burner, and enjoys double doors out to the lawned area of the garden. Also off the dining area is a utility with space for white goods, pantry cupboard and door to the stairs leading to the basement.
From the reception hall, switchback stairs lead to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and a refitted bathroom with vanity unit, bath and a separate double walk in shower.
Stairs rise to the second floor, where the principal bedroom spans the entire top floor, with large Velux windows introducing lots of light. There is an area to one side that is currently set aside as a useful workspace and storage area which would make for a useful dressing area. A pretty en-suite shower room features a herringbone-tiled design to the large walk-in shower and splashbacks, and in addition, there is substantial eaves storage to one wall.
THE OUTSIDE
Approached via timber five bar gate over a generous block paved drive to a parking area, a double garage is found to the front of the property adjacent to Church Hill.
The gardens at Highcliffe House are set to three sides. At the back is the oil tank, log store and storage area behind the outbuilding – one building divided into two. There is a greenhouse and a large chicken/duck/poultry pen. There is also a lawned area leading off a wide deck before continuing to a terrace bordered by mature shrubs and two apple trees, one eating and one cooking, a pear tree as well as soft fruit bushes, a large rosemary hedge and a herb garden. Elsewhere there is a vegetable patch overlooked by the drawing room.
